  • Starts at $750
  • Serves Bedford, VA

Let’s chat! I love chatting…it’s totally my favorite! I’m Kristin Mastrangelo, (go head, try it out…it’s easier than it looks), a makeup & hair artist who specializes in wedding, special event, & television artistry, spending most of my time trying to think of PC ways to avoid putting on “real” pants. I’m a wife of 15 years & momster of 4. Obsessed with heavy metal, tea, all black everything, horror movies all the time, a creature of the night. I hate being late. Personally, I believe everyone should be at least a little weird...normal is a setting on a dryer...so embrace you, be different, and do what you want.

If I could give more stars I would! Kristin was such a treat to work with. Not only does she do an AMAZING job with makeup, she is honestly such a sweet person. She made the day even more special and I was honored to have her a part of it. She was kind and sweet and open to ideas. Everyone in my family loved her. Makeup wise, she is awesome! My makeup stayed on all day! We got married in Luray Caverns and took photos by the willow trees, it was hot but the makeup stayed on and still looked amazing. If you need a makeup artist for your big day, Kristin is your girl! Thanks so much for being a part of my day!

Hi everyone my name is Caleigh Era. I've always had a passion for doing bridal hair. I went to cosmetology school right after high school. I graduated from Graham Webb Academy in 2012. I absolutely love doing bridal hair and I can't wait to work with you on your special day.

Caleigh was so amazing to work with. I started going to her for color and highlights about a year out from my wedding, and we also did a hair trial before the big day. I so enjoyed every time I went to see her, I really felt like she tried to make my vision come to life and I couldn’t be happier with how my wedding day hair turned out. It didn’t BUDGE, and still looked perfect at 2:00 AM. She did my mom’s hair also, and we both got so many compliments on how we looked. Thank you, Caleigh, for being such a positive and uplifting person to have in the bridal suite, and for your beautiful work!

I had an amazing experience with The Stylist Abroad! Ashley, the owner, was absolutely fantastic and was incredibly communicative for the entire process. She answered every single question right away, and gave so much insight! For the trial and on the day of my wedding, my girls and I worked with Kim (hair) and Jenna (makeup), and they were both amazing. So kind, so friendly, and clearly knowledgeable! I was deciding between two hairstyles, and Kim was happy to try both in my trial. I had a couple things I wanted to change with my makeup, and Jenna was more than happy to accommodate! I was incredibly pleased with both looks on my wedding day, and everyone looked incredible!! I was definitely very blessed with the weather on wedding day, so that also helps, but hair and makeup stayed in place fabulously! The cherry on top is that everyone was just so sweet and easy to talk to!! Made the start of the day so pleasant and relaxed, and it seems like all my girls had a great time, too! Would absolutely recommend!!

A luxury beauty experience for the modern woman! My beauty philosophy is simple, "When you look good you feel good.

As a high-end makeup artist servicing some of Washington DC's most prestigious residents for over eight years, I always found it hard to find my "Glam team".

Awarded Best of Zola
I am so glad that I chose Nina Renee Beauty for my wedding day. From the very beginning, Nina had so many ideas and was willing to answer all of my super specific questions. I am an admirer of makeup and hair, with little experience lol. I really just shared my vision with Nina and she let me know what I needed! They completely over delivered on quality of work and customer service!! I also highly recommend their hair extension rental. So easy and the extensions really amplified my hairstyle. By the way! My bridesmaids all felt that this was their favorite hair and makeup experience!

Kendra Bliss is a self-taught, bridal makeup artist from Lanham, MD. Her passion for makeup artistry began in college. In 2011, she realized there was a shortage of makeup artists for women of varying skin color and types. Since she loved to get her makeup done and did not have a place to go, she decided to educate herself and be there. Since then, she has learned immensely by taking makeup classes, and consistently practicing with family and friends. Now she is published and recognized in the bridal industry in publications such as MunaLuchi Bride!

Kendra is the ultimate professional! As a Photographer, I rely on my Makeup Artist to do work that makes it easy for me to photograph and retouch. Whenever Kendra does makeup for my clients (as she is my preferred vendor), the makeup is flawless and I'm rarely doing any retouching. Aside from her makeup application, she's the ultimate professional. She's always on time, reliable, my clients always have a good experience and she's extremley creative!

Ne'Kea with The Art Of Beauty is an amazing hair stylist and makeup artist. I first met with her a week before my wedding for a trial, which she knocked out of the park. On the day of my wedding, she arrived early to set up all her supplies. She did hair and makeup for myself, my mom, and my aunt - and she made us all look fantastic. I've never looked so good in my life! Plus, my makeup stayed strong all day and night long, I never once needed a touch up. I strongly recommend Ne'Kea to anyone else.

Candace truly helped me to bring my wedding vision to fruition. As a person who does not wear make-up on a daily basis, I wanted a look that was still me but with some pizzazz. Candace delivered! Even during the process, she checked in with me regularly to make sure that I was comfortable with the look and was flexible in dialing it back when I felt that we were moving into a glam zone that I was not comfortable with. Her and Brittany took care with by bridesmaid and Brittany even made my sweet little flower girl feel included with some faux make up application. It was an amazing start to an amazing day.

So, in 2018, attended Gwynnis Mosby Makeup Training center located in Tucker, GA soon after, Quanisha began her makeup artistry freelancing business called Quanisha Moody Makeup Artistry.

Quanisha was professional, timely, and did amazing work! She was a great addition to the bridal suite and getting ready space on my wedding day. I would highly recommend her to future brides!

I love creating beautiful, custom wedding henna! From intricate, elaborate bridal mehndi designs to speedy, satisfying designs for guests, I love it all. I have studied Indian, North African, and Middle Eastern henna design in depth, and am happy to create designs in a broad range of strictly traditional styles, or to combine traditional patterns with more individualized, unique elements for a customized henna experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
I'd first met Heather at a Rhode Island PrideFest, and instantly saw how much talent she had. Every piece she did looked amazing, her precision was immaculate. I went to her several times over the years, and when my now wife and I began planning our wedding, I brought up the idea of having wedding henna done. My wife agreed, and I knew immediately that I needed to contact Heather. We met up with her at a nearby farm where she was holding a henna event, and she sat with us discussing what we would like done for the wedding for probably a half-hour or so. She sketched design ideas out, which we loved, and made a contract right then and there. Our wedding henna was stunning. We received so many compliments on it that night, and repeatedly after as it lasted beautifully for quite some time. We still get comments if someone sees wedding photos. Throughout the entire process, Heather was a dream to work with. Very kind and professional, she is exactly the caring presence a stressed bride-to-be needs.
